Groovy.

I had a conversation about karma last night with a few blogger friends. One of the true gifts of this hobby. We chatted about the industry and how it's changing and of course, the people in it. It's interesting...with all the crazy things happening in this world...there is still a disconnect in supporting one another. Specifically amongst women. This topic is such a head scratcher for me because we all have something unique to bring to the table. Why not celebrate that vs. worry SO much about what our peers are doing?

Perhaps it's a product of age or motherhood or entrepneurial-hood but I have less time to care what others think. Truthfully, I still internalize negativity. Mean comments/actions still hurt my feelings but I have learned to move on quicker because I have less bandwidth than I used to.

I might complain that I have less time often but in all actuality, it's somewhat of a gift because it forces you to prioritize what you really care about.

And that means I give ZERO effs these days because I am running at such a frenetic pace. I look forward to 70 when I REALLY don't care! Ha!

Back to the subject of supporting one another. This whole Instagram community could spontaneously combust tomorrow and there seems to be a lot of competition surrounding it. My advice? Move to snapchat and have fun for gosh sakes! Or even better...

put down your phone and sit in the grass, meet your friends for a drink, eat that piece of chocolate and watch that Real Housewives. More importantly...you do you. There's no one else like you!

It’s almost too good to be true…a rare Monday post. I used to be so diligent!

I’ve recovered, and I 100% mean “recovered”, from a busy weekend…ready to tackle Monday. This is what it felt like before when work wasn’t as busy and I was actually productive during the work week. It feels great!

When I think of Fall - there’s always that one item that keeps me up at night. That one piece I have to have. Over the years it’s spanned from coats to denim to OTK boots. All closet staples. This year was no different but it was a bit of a wild card. What I mean is…It’s more of a loud statement piece, which, I am totally okay with. Any ideas?

My wardrobe goal is simple - effortless chic. I have pushed myself to edit my closet ruthlessly these last 60 days and the result is less clutter, clothes I really love, a simplified color palette and pieces that are perhaps pricier but 100% more versatile with mix and matching capabilities.

I bought this dress for NOLA but never got a chance to photograph it because we were too busy having fun! Months later I thought I would bring it one more time before everyone breaks out the pumpkin spice lattes. A sad truth so I am trying to savor the season.

Sometimes we need a second to celebrate the ordinary, everyday moments. You know, like hi-5'ing yourself for waking up and getting dressed. Or is that just me? In all seriousness, I often have these fleeting moments of gratitude and I think to myself...how can I express this in a thoughtful way to the people who matter most?

I shutter to think what I wore to my first job out of school. More awkward than anything. A small budget while trying to navigate my personal style as a young 20-something. The reality is that I didn't figure out my personal style until really about two years ago and I am 40. This could also be largely attributed to the fact that my body has changed with birthing two humans. Regardless, I am comfortable in the skin I'm in and I know what works for my body. This doesn't mean that I don't have occasional missteps but on the whole, I've widdled my closet down to a pretty curated collection.

My fitness journey is a long one with some starts and stops along the way but now...I couldn't imagine life without it. Working out is that one moment every day where I get to materialize my thoughts, find some inner calm and get my endorphins going. Without it I am often crabby and antsy. Almost like a case of too much caffeine. Ironic how that works.

If I had to wear one outfit over and over again - this would be it. I'm obsessed with these budget friendly denim shorts; once you see the price you'll want some, too! Dressing them a zillion different ways has never been my problem either. From muscle tees to OTS tops to blazers as pictured above...I think you can create a new outfit with a simple swap of accessories.
